Welcome to Week 10

Effective guidance focuses on priorities rather than trying to change too many behaviors at once. Children develop self-control when adults respond calmly, consistently, and with unconditional care. Teachers support children in resolving conflicts while ensuring safety and stopping hurtful behavior when needed. Clear expectations, repetition of rules, and consistency help children internalize appropriate behavior. Above all, good discipline is rooted in patience, empathy, and affection—not punishment, threats, or intimidation.
